Jacob and Kendra’s story began on May 13, 2023, at Adam and Sadie’s gender reveal party for their daughter, Avery. Adam is Kendra’s cousin, and Jacob’s college roommate. What neither of them realized at the time was they had matched on Hinge earlier that very morning.
Despite sitting across the table from each other at the party, Kendra and Jacob never actually spoke. It wasn’t until after Kendra had left that Jacob pulled up her picture and asked Adam if he knew who she was. Adam’s response? “Dude, that’s my cousin. You were just sitting across the table from her.”
Later that night, Jacob messaged Kendra to explain that he had no idea the girl he matched with that morning was the same girl sitting across from him at the party. He also admitted that he’d be lying if he said he wasn’t checking to see if she had a ring on her finger.
Little did either of them know that one day, Jacob would be the one putting a ring on that very finger. 💍
And, as they say, the rest is history. 🤍
